ROBElNG A FAT WOMAN.
How 1t Was Managed by a Couple OF
Light-Fingered Gentry-Sympathy.

How 1t Was Managed by a Couple Of
Hght-Fingered Gentry-Sympathy.
At the corner of Grand street two big
policemen were engaged in directing the
throng that passed by and in keeping the
street cars from becoming blocked. There
were mixed in the crowd half a dozen
slender and decent-IoOking young men,
who were specially pointed out to me.
They were pushing through the crowd
and coming and going every ten or fifteen
minutes.
There" said my companion, pointing
out one of these dudish chaps, get onto
him, and you will see what they do"
There was a big fat woman with a
heavy basket on one arm and bundle in
the other hand coming along. 1t is the
natural thing for fat woman to load
herself down with bundles and baskets
that are generally prOportionate TO her
own size. This particular fat woman
got suddenly caught in a jam on the
corner, and, as if by chance, one of the
young men was in front Of her and an
other behind her. and both squeezing her
with the utmost apparent unconcern. Her
bundle and her basket hi ug at her side
like paniers on a mule. 7 ne people were
pressing her on all sides and she was as
helpless a creature as could be imagined
This all took place in . shorter time than
ii takes me to describe it, but, as the big
policeman held up his club across the
street and shouted emerge tically to induce
the people to move on, l saw the little
rascal in front of her slip one of his hands
deftly in her pocket and pass out big
black wallet. The wallet was fat ard
plethoric like the woman and her basket
and her bundle. IeXpected, when he took
1t out, to see him make a dash and run
away, but he did nothing of the kind He
became suddenly interested in the welfare
of the fat woman, and turned round witt
quick movement to beg her pardon for
having pushed against her. l heard him
say: What jam they do have here
Shall | help you across the street? 1t is no
trouble, l assure you
Meanwhile he seized hold of her basket
and was hurrytng her across the street. l
had just time to see that as he did this he
passed something to the other fellow, who
was behind the fat woman, who i'm
mediately sauntered off. HE has got the
swag, said my companion. Just then tie
fat woman stopped on the other side to
change her bundle, feeling for her pocket
book, discovered her loss and began to
shout to the policeman that somebody had
taken her pocket-bOok. The little fellow,
who was the real thief all this time stuck
to her like burr, and urged her to search
her bundle and told her she must be mis-
taken She did not have the slightest sus
picion that it was this polite and symP&
thetic young man who had relieved her
of money, or that his sympathy was Great
ing delay. while his pal got away with the
Doodle. She got small comfort from the
policeman, who finally i5ld her she must
move, and that if she could tell who took
the book she must go and complain. As
for himself, it was his business to see that
the street was clear. She went away be-
moaning her loss.-New York Cor. Cincin-
natl ENQUIRER.

An American newly come may be sur
prised to hear about nightfal as he trun-
dies along a country road in his outside
car a solitary katydid sounding its mon
OtOnous rattle. But something unfamiliar
in the information makes him ask what it
means. The creak, creak represents song
to the rail, a bird which is called the corn
crake or beam-crake in different parts of
the island. 1t is an exceedingly lonely
and dreary sound. The magpie occasion
ally crosses the road well ahead, and, fly
ing steadily, manages to skulk behind n
turt-wall. They appear to tame the mag
pie rarely here. Now and then a crane
sweeps slowly up from a marsh. The
crow is the most plentiful; every green
field has two and every plOwed field
twenty; crows, rocks and chOughs are
aften called jack-daws without discrimin-
ating one from the other. Neglect of the
old language has caused a great dearth of
words in the English of Ireland for plants,
birds and beasts Had the settlers under
stood the value of the tongue and estab-
lished schools to teach both languages, the
Gaelic, full of expressive words, giving
fine shades of meaning, would have en-
riched English far more than is the case.
Now it is almost too late.-Couuty Cork

The members Of the j6th Mass. had not met
together as n regiment since they returned
their colors to the State until they gathered in
the parlors OF the Quincy House. Boston. March
., for the purpose Of organizing a regimental
association. SeTg't George S. Evans conceived
the idea Of forming q permanent organization
and issued q card to such of the members as
could be found. Their response was gratifying,
and at the hour appointed 80 comrades were in
the room. they were heartily in favor Of the
plan proposed by Serg't Evans, and after some
discussion an organization was effected by the
election Of these officers: President. Gen. Ste

trip to the battlefelds of Virginia. It is espe-
cially desired that all members Of the 56th
regiment who can join the excursion should
communicate at once with Secretary George $
Evans. in order that suitable arrangements can
be made
The 56th was engaged in Is severe battle:
and fought all through the campaign from May

tie Of the Wilderness. lie was succeed by Ste
phen NJ. Weld, who was afterwards promoted
